Pilots don't share control of an aircraft; the copilot may help with some tasks, but unless the captain relinquishes control of the yoke (etc.) he's flying it. So you'd still have issues where a cars "pilot" gets distracted, or makes a poor decision.


It's even more complex - there's the temporary designation "pilot flying" and "pilot not flying", with a handover protocol and whatnot: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/5078/how-is-air...
